Welcome to Litsy!

I have to confess, I‘m only a few pages into JP, but it‘s already so good. I‘ve actually read it before, but it was not long after the movie came out when I was 10 years old, so I don‘t remember much, and probably didn‘t really understand it.

I made Salsa Lizano for #FoodAndLit #CostaRica, & put it on a ribeye (that I got WAY on sale 😉). It was really good, but I wish my pic was better. That steak looks like it was mauled by a velociraptor.

Oh, that was fun, those were some nasty dinosaurs 🦖 I see how this is a classic, I really liked the mathematician and his predictions, his criticism of modern society, ethics and also how he makes everyone consider the responsibility for their actions, even the palaeontologists.
Absorbing, couldn't stop listening!
(I never watched the movies, but will watch at least the first one now😃)

I read this book back in high school and reread it as part of our local book store‘s Books to Movie series. It‘s still a page-turner. Parts read as if they are current events of today. I love the science behind the story. Yet I can‘t help but think that Steven Spielberg improved on the elements with his film.

The debate carried by Malcom about if science really contributes to advance civilization and how we should ask scientists for accountability and be aware of which "advances" are good for us and which ones are not is really interesting.The author talks a lot about how we are not destroying the planet,the planet will survive, life will continue, we won't.⬇️

Good science fiction makes you believe that what happens in the book could happen in real life,doesn't matter how fantastic it sounds.I'm not going to surprise anyone by saying this books makes you believe that cloning dinosaurs could happen(and that it would be a bad idea?).For those fans of the first movie that are wondering if reading the book worth's it,yes,it does.The material is well researched,the story is a bit different,and ⬇️⬇️

This was me absorbed in Jurassic Park while in Puerto Vallarta. This was one of (if not the) most exciting books I read in 2022 (finished on Jan 2nd). It‘s grisly, cinematic, and grounded in its fantasy, which is terrifying. It was a blast! 🦖

The book is even better than the movie. After seeing the movie countless times I didn't expect the book to surprise me but it did.The book had several different details, and plot holes in the movie were closed. Remember the Dino poop scene? Answered. I finished at 1am and couldn't sleep from that hyped up horror feeling. This book aged well. I Definitely recommend it! #bookspin November @TheAromaofBooks

From page one there is a quiet horror that seeps out of the pages, the build up is slow which only adds to the dread, the gloom is a real as the mist over the island.

Then all of a sudden everything happens at once and I spent 60% of the book in a state of anxiety. There is no let up, no recovery time, no time to sit back in your seat, its full on up until the last page.

This is an incredibly bingeable book.

Fantastic.

Chaplin told me I absolutely had to choose Jurassic Park for this letter since it's my husband's favorite book of all time! And really, I do love it too! 💕🦖🦕 #catsoflitsy #chaplin

#Alphabetgame #LetterJ @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

I definitely recommend the book even if you've seen the movie a thousand times. The book gives a lot more insight into the theoretical aspects of the story, but it's still fast-paced and action-packed.

I couldn‘t believe how close the movie stayed to the book. I read this more than a decade ago and it was just as fun this time around. Dinos and death, human hubris and it‘s inevitable downfall, so fun!

Great article & having just seen the newest Jurassic, I so missed Ellie Sattler & all the great, no bs women on this list. We need more of that in books & movies.

Guess what movie I‘m seeing? Lol! I hope it‘s good!

At the movies!!

Finally got around to reading this. I must say, as much as I love the movie, the book is just so much better.

My son got this for his birthday. I think the adults are enjoying it more then he is. Trying to convince my hubby to read the books, he is more of a movie watcher only kinda of guy.

Read it right after my friend, Caitlin #bfls
Can be summed up by a tweet I saw “in a sense, none of our dinosaurs have ever escaped because society itself is just another larger cage. Fuck yeah that sounds so smart. But yeah like 18 to 19 dinosaurs are currently loose.”

I couldn't pass up using one of my favorite books and movies for #Laboratory. Life finds a way. 😁

3rd reread but 1st time reading my folio society edition with original illustrations 🦖😍🦕 this will get me out of my reading slump. Happy reading and weekend everyone 📚 ❤ 📖 #jurassicpark #dinosaurs #foliosociety #scifi #thrill #horror #adventure #illustrations

I‘ve read this I think twice before, and somehow always seems to forget everything about it. This time around, I found Lex incredibly irritating. Having 3 kids, I can‘t imagine an 8 yr old acting so whiny and petulantly in such dangerous situations. Also, Ellie did nothing but look hot in her short shorts. Maybe Crichton didn‘t like women back then? Otherwise, fun read, fun dinosaurs.

RANDOM POST: This will probably be the most random thing I ever post on here buttttt I just wanted to share my Stegosaurus birth mark(it's on my knee) with all of Litsy because I feel super special! My oldest son has the same birth mark on his back (: Hahaha currently been binge watching Jurassic Park/World and cannot wait for the next one to come out this summer.

Happy weekend everyone. These are my dinosaur novels. Can anyone think of any I'm missing or you recommend please? Let me know if you need me to read a title. Happy reading everyone hope you're all ok. #dinosaur #prehistoric #jurassic #triassic #cretaceous #adventure #scifi #science

Day 147.
Here I will note 365 books (or as many as I will have before I get tired) that have shaped my taste in literature. No explanations, no reviews. Just the cover of the book.
I do not challenge anyone. You are all welcome to take part.

Coming to this from watching the films, there are so many differences, especially in terms of the Lost World. Man, were we cheated terribly in that film adaptation. Cheated!! Sarah Harding was such a badass in the book.

Much like Crichton, a lot of scientific details to make it all plausible and natural within the scope of the fantasy without losing the reader. Both books were entertaining, detailed, and yes filled with science and dinosaurs.

New Year‘s Eve Jurassic style! My last book finished in 2021. Suspenseful and I like it as well as the movie. Still working on my alphabet challenge to read my shelves. 3/5🦕s

Had to ask permission to share this as it isn't mine but WOW! As a Jurassic Park and book lover I absolutely love this tattoo 😍😍 @CymbaX13 @TheWolfbehindTheEyes #jurassicpark #dinoreading #clevergirl

Someone is being daring today. Yes I am having a heart attack right now. @Enchanted_Bibliophile I'm sure you understand. Bilbo yes you are a raptor and yes they jumped on the T-Rex in Jurassic Park but this is NOT acceptable 🦉😱😬🦖 @CymbaX13 @Jackal121 #dinosaurs #jurassicpark #raptor #owlsoflitsy #lego

This book is way more intense than the movie! I love the movie, but as it so often is, the book is better.

What a book! 🦖 So good and gripping 😍 5/5
Read for the #PopSugarReadingChallenge2021 and #bookoplathon and #writteninthestarsreadathon

Watched these two yesterday. Wasn‘t sure if I should count Jurassic park, but IMDb says it‘s a thriller, so 😂 Plus I was watching it with my boy to help him narrow down his Halloween costume. He‘s going to be Dr. Grant. +11 pts #Scarathlon #TeamSlaughter

I enjoyed this re read immensely. I think I liked it more as an adult.

I‘m a big Jurassic park fan but stumbled across the novel and was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed it! Found his questioning about humans and genomes and how far is too far super interesting.

Litsy swap has arrived @jimfields3 Thanks. Uncle Tom‘s cabin is a gorgeous addition. I hope my parcel has made it to you by now.

I live in a funny town with one of those over the top burger joints that never disappoints.

It's been years since I watched this movie. As a kid it both terrified me and was my favorite 😂 The book gave me the same impression. It is definitely a thriller, with some nasty descriptions of dinosaur-related deaths. It is very much the embodiment of anything that can go wrong will go wrong. There is a lot of technical science and philosophy speak throughout, but overall it keeps you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what happens next 🦖

Trying to get some porch reading in before it gets unreasonably hot.

Book was on sale on Kindle yesterday which was a perfect excuse to grab it for a reread since I don‘t currently have a copy. I first read it a loooong time ago.

Yes, that‘s an Ian Malcolm Funko.

Book 104

Ill stick w the movie
